Man City striker Jesus signs contract extension until 2023

Manchester City striker Gabriel Jesus has signed a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2023.

He netted 17 goals as City won the Premier League and the Carabao Cup last term.

He started every game as Brazil reached this summer’s World Cup quarter-finals, where they lost to Belgium.

Jesus has struggled with injury at City, breaking a metatarsal in his foot and suffering a knee injury.

He has described joining the club as the “best decision I’ve made in my life”.

Manchester City director of football Txiki Begiristain added: “Gabriel is undoubtedly one of the best young forwards in world football.”
